Among the items TSA officers found in the passenger’s carry-on: a dagger, three throwing knives, nine disposable scalpels and a pair of brass knuckles. \n
The man, who was not identified by the TSA, was cited by airport police. It is not known whether the man knew the items were prohibited.
Wednesday’s discovery is not the first time a traveler has been caught with an unusual collection of prohibited items. In the past, TSA officers have stopped travelers carrying machetes and a chain saw in their carry-ons. “When passengers have prohibited items among their carry-on items, it slows down the screening process,” John Busch, TSA’s federal security director at National Airport, said in a statement. “Travelers play a role in the efficiency of checkpoint screening by knowing what should and should not be packed in a carry-on bag.”
TSA officials said the man would have been able to travel with the items if they had been in a checked bag, the agency said.Wednesday’s incident comes as the TSA has been dealing with a significant increase in the number of travelers bringing guns to airport checkpoints. TSA officers discovered nearly 6,000 firearms at airport checkpoints last year, the most in agency history. In February, House lawmakers held a hearing to explore why the number of firearms has been increasing.
